I always enjoy the 'From this we can easily infer that' as I on more than one occasion had to work pretty hard to get to that easily inferred result. Either, being experts in the field the result is indeed not difficult for them t

I find this quite plausible, with or without the knowledge of Page, Zuckerberg et al. the NSA might very well have the private keys of these companies. I would not be surprised if the CEO's of these companies choose to be ignorant of t

Indeed, the Guardian's recent track record is remarkable. It takes a lot of guts to defy the powers that be again and again. All the journalists involved must live under the assumption that their phones are tapped and their travel patt

What if I permit a site to autocomplete my email, address etc. but not my credit-card. Then, after the permission is given the form is changed to ask for a credit-card. I'm sure this is all thought trough but I'll wait for a bit before usin

Exactly, there is definitely a market in further improving Python as the go-to language for scientific computing. Matlab shines with its toolboxes and Python has a long way to go in that respect but as a language is much better thought trou

In the Netherlands, Chinese investors are building a factory to produce baby formula that will export the baby formula back to China. There are in fact limits to how much baby formula you can buy in Dutch supermarkets due to the Chinese dem

I expect that Currents won't live very long. I don't see what value it adds in that space with competitors such as Pulse, Zite, Flipboard and a lot of others. Is anyone actually using Currents? If so, is it any good?

I like Pandas and I'd like to move to Python for my data analysis. Python is a beautiful language I can use for many other purposes than just data analysis. I find it more readable and self-documenting than R. Nonetheless I use R, ggplot2 i

After long, long e-mail discussions over plans with friends I also started using this approach. Just go, see who comes along. Makes organising much easier, and somehow I also care less if friends don't show up. It's my party, the more the m

I live in Holland and the dedicated bike paths here make cycling really safe. So safe that I don't see the use for this bike light here in the Netherlands although it will probably have a marginal benefit. However, last summer I rented a bi

First of all congratulations! I was hoping you would be developing such a product after I saw last year's announcement on STS. One question, is there a ruby gem to work with the API coming up, or is it left up to the internet to develop tha

Wow, this would be an excellent feature. Although I've got 2 factor authentication set up for my whole account and it doesn't really bother me, I would like to see something like this. An extra measure to protect certain emails would be rea

Indeed, very annoying. I want to share stuff with my friends and love the granular approach I can now take but if it means I publicly have to +1 it. I have no idea how public that is, can people see a list of all things I +1'd? Can friends?

I still wish there are going to be some syntax improvements to Python then. Matlab's way of working with matrices is simply excellent. Formulas on paper map almost one to one to the code. Apart from that I'd take Python over Matlab any day
